INNOCENTS' DAY

It's nearly Christmas, and it's that time of the year: presents, big meals with the family, Santa Claus, or "Els Treis Reis"... But, what day is it the 28th of December? The day of the jokes, when you can tell everybody a lie and stay as quiet as always. One of my plans for this day is to declare to the boy I like, because if he doesn't feel the same, I can tell him it was a joke;) Let's go back to the main theme... 

This day is very funny for us, but it has a history, it's something very sadist and terrifying. You may be religious or not, but I'm sure you have heard about the "Massacre of the Innocents". It happened (or maybe it's just an old story) in the year 0, when Jesus Christ was born, in the 24th of December, and the king Herodes knew he was going to change everything, because he was god's son. So he gave the order to kill ALL the children under 12, even if they did nothing, so he killed 20 innocent children, just because he was fearing Jesus Christ's power. But, he didn't get his goal, because he killed every little boy and girl less Jesus. 

So this day isn't very funny, but there's a lot of people that doesn't know its history.
